    Also hit you right in the throat. I couldn't believe the size of those pills they're frekin huge. Like horse pills or something. Swallowing 14 of those things would prove to be exceedingly difficult, unless your a porn star or something

    Agree - pills are hard to swallow. Try Udo's Choice - it is in most health food stores and is refrigerated and kep in sun proof bottles.

    Personally I buy Spectrum Flax Oil and thats just because its the most wide available and cheapest at the natural food store. Just make sure its cold pressed and that you keep it refridgerated.

    As far as Fish Oil this is what I buy, 1G Fat each
    1000 mg Fish Oil.
    EPA 180 mg
    DHA 120 mg

    Fish oil is better than Flax or Hemp. Hemp tastes nasty and I don't think its better than Flax but the same. Fish Oil is the way to go.

    Just to add, my employer does routine drug testing. They put out a pamphlet that states that using hemp oil MAY cause false positives. (read: YOUR ASS IS FIRED).

    Just throwing that out for anyone that may want to heed it. No idea if it's based in fact, but I'm not willing to lose my job over it either.
